Abstract

Described is the specific delivery of agrochemicals to plants. More specifically, described is a composition having a targeting agent comprising at least one binding domain that specifically binds to a binding site on an intact living plant and an agrochemical or a combination of agrochemicals. Also described is a binding domain that specifically binds the binding site on an intact living plant. More specifically, described are binding domains comprising a peptide sequence that comprises four framework regions and three complementary-determining regions, or any suitable fragment thereof, so that the binding domains are able to bind or retain a carrier onto a plant. Described are binding domains that specifically bind trichomes, stomata, cuticle, lenticels, thorns, spines, root hairs, or wax layer. Described is a method for delivery of agrochemicals to a plant, for improving the deposition of agrochemicals on a plant, and for retaining the agrochemicals on a plant, using targeting agents comprising the binding domains, and to a method for protecting a plant against biotic or abiotic stress or controlling plant growth using the same. Also, described is a method for manufacturing a specifically targeting agrochemical carrier.
